Guy Goodbody posted:Safe, reliable self-driving cars will require massive advances in artificial intelligence. It can't be done with current technology. Anyone who says self-driving cars will happen in the next five years is a moron easily swayed by marketing, anyone who says they'll happen in the next twenty years is just expressing their own religious faith in the inexorable march of *gif of the doctor from Futurama saying "Science!"* True. Thing is, technology is actually slowing down. I doubt we'll get selfdriving cars in even 50 years. And thats assuming climate change doesnt gently caress everything up. But even if it didnt, technological progress is still slowing down. Compare 1900 to 1950, look at all the big changes that occured because of automobiles, planes, widespread electricity, vaccines, radio, etc. Then compare 1950 to 2000: there were a lot of technological improvements, but not nearly as many. People still had cars and electricity and telephones in 1950; its just that in 2000, they also had a desktop computer, and maybe a cellphone and internet connection. We got video games, and whatnot, too. And since 2000, not a whole lot has improved. Compare 1982 to 2000, its obvious that computers and whatnot have advanced. Now compare 2000 to 2018, and things are almost exactly the same except cellphones are a bit better. Basically we've picked all the low hanging fruit of technology progress. And now we've got climate change and resource depletion. None of the sci-fi bullshit is going to become real, kids

They decimate the local bird population, fight, get hurt, and it's just not safe for them outside. If you let your cats outside and they die/never come back, it's on you and you should feel bad because you're a piece of poo poo that exposed your supposed beloved pet to mortal danger. Cats don't need to go outside under any conditions. They won't be stunted or bored if you provide toys. There's no psychological benefit that can't be replicated inside. I'm looking at you nearly everyone in my family in the United Kingdom.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Horoscopes and astrology are the worst bullshit. They aren't even entertaining. Throw psychics in there as well because they're basically the same thing. If someone wants proof that it's all bullshit, tell them to read another random sign's horoscope and ask themselves if it also fits them (it will). On the surface it seems like it's just feel-good harmless fun but the psychics use it to milk gullible and vulnerable people from their money. My unpopular opinion about it is we should treat psychics the same way they did back in the days when witch hunts were popular. Maybe just jail them instead of all the torture and burning them though, even though some of them like the late Sylvia Browne would deserve it. Why the law doesn't view what they do as fraud is beyond me.

Also gently caress people who let their dogs run around without leashes. They always act all sheepish and “ohhhh he never does this” when their pos dog inevitably bolts and usually don’t even make an effort to control it, opting instead to stand still and uselessly squeal “Dumbshit, come! Come! I’m so sorry! Come! Sit! Come!” Dangerous for the dog, annoying as poo poo for whatever poor sap your poo poo dog decides to chase, and potentially extremely uncomfortable for say, a little kid or someone with a dog phobia.

My mom has smallish dogs (border terriers) and we have some neighbors who always let their aggressive giant pitbulls/boxers/whatever off leash. They always claim they somehow open the front door themselves and they can't stop them. They aren't velociraptors, just lock the door, or accept the inevitable when someone runs them over or shoots them when they act like they are going to attack you/your dog, like they have multiple times with my mom's dogs until someone scares them off. Last time I was home I even told the lady if it were up to me I would have shot them and she acted indignant like her "babies" could do no wrong and I was some kind of monster.

I deliver pizza and the fuckers around here are very lucky I love all forms of dog with every fiber of my being. So far I've been: Knocked down by a Mastiff that smelled pizza and bolted. Bitten on my rear end by a Pomeranian that "never does this oh my gosh!" Knocked down and had my shoe stolen by a mutt. Yes I told him "you're a dog, they don't even fit!" Been greeted multiple times by people opening their door and a couple of Pits barging their way past to crowd me and rub dog smell and dirt all over my legs. It's not hard to put your dog in another room when I come. You ordered pizza, you know I'm coming. Dog can't help it, I'm a stranger with a weird had that smells like food. Best time was the giant rear end dog that ran right past me and jumped into my Fiat through the open door. Him just wanted a ride!

Back in 2000 you couldn't find information about virtually anything, let alone that you can now do it from pretty much anywhere. You couldn't just go online and start watching your favorite show immediately. You couldn't even listen to a song right away. You couldn't broadcast a TV channel from your house. You had to look at actual maps to find your way. You had to go to a real store to buy things. If you wanted to book a hotel or a taxi you had to call them. This is all to say that tech has had a huge leaps in the last few years, especially in the areas of information, media and access to them. That said, I do think tech is reaching a plateau in some respects. The jump from FHD to UHD is not as impressive as HD was to FHD or earlier resolution iterations. You don't really need to change your computer or phone after every couple of years anymore. Gaming has been kind of stagnant in regards to graphics. And so on. New tech will keep coming and it should be mostly from unexpected places.

Tiggum posted:I have kind of the opposite view on this. When I see someone walking their dog on a lead, my immediate thought is that they don't trust their dog so I don't trust them either and I'd better give them a wide berth. Someone walking a dog with no lead, that dog's not going to do anything unexpected, I'll walk right past them, no problem. They are animals. There is ALWAYS the chance they will do something unexpected. All it takes is one quick movement by your dog or yourself that they weren't expecting and it can set them off. All well-trained dogs are perfectly predictable angels, until they aren't because of something you didn't train them to handle.

It's probably different in Australia, as it is in Europe, but in america when someone is letting their dog off leash the chances of it being because they are very well trained and the owner trusts the dog is basically 0. It's more likely to be some methed out pitbull breeder who doesn't want to be told what to do so they let their basically feral dogs roam free.

fruit on the bottom posted:Wait, so your mind leaps to the conclusion that no leash = more responsible pet owner? I've seen tons of dogs being walked without leads and never felt threatened or concerned in any way. The only dogs I see acting in an aggressive or dangerous manner with their owners present are either on leads or behind fences. Stray dogs are a different matter and I avoid them, but that's not the same as people walking their dogs without leads.

The original script for Caddy Shack had a lot more focus on the caddy and his relationship with the inexplicably Scottish girl. But when they started filming everyone on the crew thought Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase were so funny they changed it to give them a lot more screen time My unpopular opinion is that the movie probably would've been better if they kept to the original plan.
